Portugal’s consumer price inflation picked up in August, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 3.3%, up from 3.0% previously. The data, updated on 10 September 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in price growth compared with the pace recorded earlier.
Both the latest and the prior readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring price changes in August against the same month a year earlier. The previous indicator, at 3.0%, and the current 3.3% figure for August 2026 suggest that inflationary pressures in Portugal have strengthened slightly, signaling a firmer inflation trend as summer draws to a close.
